Last night, late in the evening, when it was very dark, the Tooth Fairy arrived to check on a sleeping Clara. The Tooth Fairy spread a bit of blue fairy dust (glitter), grabbed the tooth box and placed Clara and Emma's notes and gifts on the shelf by their beds.
Clara got a small coloring pad, princess stickers, a pencil, five single dollars, two hershey kisses and markers. And, just like Mommy got growing up, she got a quarter, a dime, a nickel and a penny.
There were big screams of joy this morning in the house and both kids got right to work on coloring on their new coloring books. Clara couldn't have been any cuter or more excited showing off her toothless smile. And, she brought her note from the Tooth Fairy to share at school.
Clara's note says the following (on blue construction paper, of course):
"Dear Clara,
Last night, while you were sleeping, I looked under your pillow and found your tooth!
Congratulations, I see you've lost your very first tooth. I had so much fun coming to your house to look for it.
It is a very special tme for a little girl like you! I see you have been taking very good care of your teeth. I am very proud of you and know you have been brushing your teeth everyday.
Pretty soon, a new tooth will move in where the old tooth used to be. It is a sign you are growing up. Being a grown up means you need ot remember to brush you teeth at least twice a day to make sure they stay nice, clean and shiny.
By the way, I love your new glasses.
Keep being a good girl. I can't wait to see you again. Make sure to say hi to your dentist for me!
Thanks again for your tooth. I left you something special in place of your tooth. Enjoy.
Love, The Tooth Fairy
P.S. I love blue too!
The Tooth Fairy decided to give Emma a note too and a little gift- she got a small coloring pad and a pencil.
Emma's note says the following (on pink construction paper):
Dear Emma,
I came to get your sister's tooth and wanted to say hi. Keep brushing your teeth and be a good girl. I'm sure I'll see you soon. I left you a little something because you are so special."
And, there was also a delivery from a friend of the Tooth Fairy in Maryland. A package arrived with little treasure chests and tooth boxes- in blue for Clara and pink for Emma.
"Hi Clara! Pop-Pop just told me that your bottom two teeth are loose. I have worked with your Pop-Pop for over 40 ears to bring joy to those boys and girls who lose their teeth. That is great. You are growing up. I just wanted to tell you that I have you on my list. Your sister Emma should not be far behind. I am sending two Tooth Fairy boxes- one for you and one for Emma when she looses her teeth. Please do not worry if you swallow it. I learned a long time ago how to retrieve them and you will still get presents from me. Good going, Love The Tooth Fairy over the United States."
